(% style="color:blue" %)** Wiring:**

51

52

~1. WSC1-L and sensors all powered by solar power via MPPT

53

54

2. WSC1-L and sensors connect to each other via RS485/Modbus.

55

56

3. WSC1-L read value from each sensor and send uplink via LoRaWAN

57

58

59

WSC1-L is shipped with a RS485 converter board, for the easy connection to different sensors and WSC1-L. Below is a connection photo:

63

64

(% style="color:red" %)**Notice 1:**

65

66

* All weather sensors and WSC1-L are powered by MPPT solar recharge controller. MPPT is connected to solar panel and storage battery.

67

* WSC1-L has an extra 1000mAh back up battery. So it can work even solar panel and storage battery Fails.

68

* Weather sensors won’t work if solar panel and storage battery fails.

69

70

(% style="color:red" %)**Notice 2:**

71

72

Due to shipment and importation limitation, user is better to purchase below parts locally:

* Solar Panel

* Storage Battery

* MPPT Solar Recharger

77

* Mounting Kit includes pole and mast assembly. Each weather sensor has it’s own mounting assembly, user can check the sensor section in this manual.

* Cabinet.

85

Each WSC1-L is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA keys. To use WSC1-L in a LoRaWAN network, user needs to input the OTAA keys in LoRaWAN network server. After finish installation as above. Create WSC1-L in your LoRaWAN server and Power on WSC1-L , it can join the LoRaWAN network and start to transmit sensor data. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.

== 2.4 Uplink Payload ==

154

155

Uplink payloads include two types: Valid Sensor Value and other status / control command.

156

157

* Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2

158

* Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.

159

160

161

=== 2.4.1 Uplink FPORT~=5, Device Status ===

162

163

Uplink the device configures with FPORT=5. Once WSC1-L Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server. After first uplink, WSC1-L will uplink Device Status every 12 hours

(((

User can also use downlink command(0x2301) to ask WSC1-L to resend this uplink

364

365

Application platform provides a human friendly interface to show the sensor data, once we have sensor data in TTN V3, we can use Datacake to connect to TTN V3 and see the data in Datacake. Below are the steps:

366

367

368

(% style="color:blue" %)**Step 1**(%%): Be sure that your device is programmed and properly connected to the LoRaWAN network.

369

370

= 3. Configure WSC1-L via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink =

392

393

Use can configure WSC1-L via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink.

394

395

* AT Command Connection: See [[FAQ>>||anchor="H7.FAQ"]].

396

* LoRaWAN Downlink instruction for different platforms: [[Use Note for Server>>doc:Main.WebHome]](IoT LoRaWAN Server)

397

398

There are two kinds of commands to configure WSC1-L, they are:

399

400

* (% style="color:#4472c4" %)**General Commands**.

401

402

These commands are to configure:

403

404

* General system settings like: uplink interval.

405

* LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

406

407

They are same for all Dragino Device which support DLWS-005 LoRaWAN Stack((% style="color:red" %)Note~*~*)(%%). These commands can be found on the wiki: [[End Device Downlink Command>>doc:Main.End Device AT Commands and Downlink Command.WebHome]]

410

411

412

* (% style="color:#4472c4" %)**Commands special design for WSC1-L**

413

414

These commands only valid for WSC1-L, as below:

== 3.1 Set Transmit Interval Time ==

422

423

Feature: Change LoRaWAN End Node Transmit Interval.

424

425

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT Command: AT+TDC**

430

(% style="color:#037691" %)**Downlink Command: 0x01**

431

432

Format: Command Code (0x01) followed by 3 bytes time value.

433

434

If the downlink payload=0100003C, it means set the END Node’s Transmit Interval to 0x00003C=60(S), while type code is 01.

435

436

* Example 1: Downlink Payload: 0100001E ~/~/ Set Transmit Interval (TDC) = 30 seconds

437

* Example 2: Downlink Payload: 0100003C ~/~/ Set Transmit Interval (TDC) = 60 seconds

438

439

440

== 3.2 Set Emergency Mode ==

441

442

Feature: In emergency mode, WSC1-L will uplink data every 1 minute.

456

457

Feature: User can add or delete 3^^rd^^ party sensor as long they are RS485/Modbus interface,baud rate support 9600.Maximum can add 4 sensors.

458

459

(% style="color:#037691" %)**AT Command: **

460

461

(% style="color:blue" %)**AT+DYSENSOR=Type_Code, Query_Length, Query_Command , Read_Length , Valid_Data ,has_CRC,timeout**

462

463

* Type_Code range: A1 ~~ A4

464

* Query_Length: RS485 Query frame length, Value cannot be greater than 10

465

* Query_Command: RS485 Query frame data to be sent to sensor, cannot be larger than 10 bytes

466

* Read_Length: RS485 response frame length supposed to receive. Max can receive

467

* Valid_Data: valid data from RS485 Response, Valid Data will be added to Payload and upload via LoRaWAN.

468

* has_CRC: RS485 Response crc check (0: no verification required 1: verification required). If CRC=1 and CRC error, valid data will be set to 0.

469

* timeout: RS485 receive timeout (uint:ms). Device will close receive window after timeout

**Example:**

User need to change external sensor use the type code as address code.

474

475

With a 485 sensor, after correctly changing the address code to A1, the RS485 query frame is shown in the following table:

476

477

[[image:image-20220624143553-10.png]]

478

479

480

The response frame of the sensor is as follows:

481

482

[[image:image-20220624143618-11.png]]

**Then the following parameters should be:**

487

488

* Address_Code range: A1

489

* Query_Length: 8

490

* Query_Command: A103000000019CAA

491

* Read_Length: 8

492

* Valid_Data: 24 (Indicates that the data length is 2 bytes, starting from the 4th byte)

493

* has_CRC: 1

494

* timeout: 1500 (Fill in the test according to the actual situation)

495

496

**So the input command is:**

497

498

AT+DYSENSOR=A1,8,A103000000019CAA,8,24,1,1500

499

500

501

In every sampling. WSC1-L will auto append the sensor segment as per this structure and uplink.
